Go Blue

The consumer website Buy Blue is starting to get a little bit of attention from big media.

Buy Blue's mission is to provide comprehensive information as to the political leanings of the world's major corporations. The theory is that by "purchasing products and services from companies that donate heavily to conservatives, we have been compromising our own interests as liberals and progressives."

Want to know some of the most blue companies? Barnes & Noble, Google, Starbucks, Apple and L.L. Bean.

The most red? I'm not shocked with the inclusion of Best Buy, Nordstrom's, McDonalds or WalMart. But I'm still shocked by Urban Outfitters, PetsMart and Kohl's Corporation (originally run by Sen. Herb Kohl (D) in the 1970s). Strange.
